GOALS

HOW WE WORK

For the past two years, Hayat has been building a network of partners on different levels in various communities. Hayat sees itself as a bridge between family and all institutions relevant (e.g. employers, schools, social services) and moderates between all sides with a comprehensive goal directed towards the concerned person.
